Fiona Lowenstein

Hi! I’m Fi (they/them), an award-winning independent journalist, producer, speaker, and consultant covering health justice, wellness culture, gender, sexuality, the media and more. My background is in advocacy-based journalism, with experience in TV production, book publishing, digital media, and feminist and LGBTQ+ perspectives. My writing has been published in The New York Times, Teen Vogue, The Nation, WIRED, Vox, The Guardian, Business Insider and the Columbia Journalism Review, among other publications.

I am also a founder and community-builder. In 2018, I started the queer feminist wellness collective and events series, Body Politic, which is now a grassroots patient-led health justice organization. In 2020, I co-founded the Body Politic COVID-19 Support Group which has served over 15K Covid-19 patients across the globe, and has been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Women’s Health, among numerous other outlets. Also in 2020, I co-founded the “Independent Journalists & Creators’ Club,” (IJCC) a virtual events series and community, housed by CUNY’s Newmark Journalism School and the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism.

I appear regularly on shows and podcasts and frequently serve as a panel moderator and event host. I also provide consulting services to select non-profits, technology companies, and individuals seeking guidance on editorial projects, communications, and community-building. I have served as a subject matter expert on Long COVID, peer-to-peer communities, and Covid-19 patient issues for the CDC, WHO and POTUS Covid-19 Equity Task Force, and have produced a series of work meant to help journalists navigate reporting on novel and chronic illnesses. I co-created and currently volunteer with three COVID community projects: The Long COVID Survival Guide book exchange, The Long COVID Source List, and COVID Cautious Los Angeles.
